It's pretty much "one of those threads", but I figure why not...
* You've got $3K available.
* Pick any 3-5 watches and tell us why.
* You can buy new or used (but keep the values honest!).
* If you're actually on your way, tell us how far along you've gotten...
Here's my target lineup:

(1) Sinn 556A on bracelet; this is the workhorse of the collection, worn most often (as is the case now). No bracelet yet because I'm enjoying my grey nylon and brown leather NATOs too much to invest in one at present. :-!
(2) Vostok 'Zissou' on rubber; this one is just plain fun, and it gets used whenever sweat, water, etc. is in play. My version of a 'fitness watch' if I'm being honest. :-d
(3) Vintage 60s Omega on brown leather; I might have gone for a SM De Ville here except that'd probably put me over budget. Good condition dressy Geneve with a not-too-plain dial to the rescue! :think:
(4) Q&Q Smile Solar by Citizen on black/black NATO; inexpensive super beater, solar-powered, all blacked out. For those occasions when you just wanna kick it street style. b-)
(5) Ball EMII Moon Glow on black leather; I only recently saw this watch for the first time ever and it's just so classy. Billiards aesthetic, tritium tubes for lume, Ball history. Looking for a deal on a used one, make it my 'black dress watch'. :-)
